Organizational Culture and Engagement Initiatives
We prioritize respectful, collaborative, and intentional communication between employees and our clients.

LaDaja Dunn, Office + HR Coordinator, and our DEI&B-certified professional, Jennifer Smith, CPO, lead these efforts with the committee's help.
- Our recruiting efforts are regularly audited to ensure that we are looking for qualified candidates in diverse communities and training our managers on reducing bias in the recruiting and interview processes.
